Did you or someone you know live here? Enjoy this nostalgia HDR saturation. For more nostalgic images of Auburn, both city and university, look through the galleries here or go to my blog, davidwimberley.com.

I see this pond differently now, since taking and processing this image. I hope you do, too, after seeing it here. (If you drive into Auburn from Exit 51 you'll pass it on your left, just past the corner Chevron station at East University.)
